Recommended Customer Reviews

Danny was very responsive on my inquiry. He showed up on time and completed the work I needed in a timely manner. Everything was very professionally done. I recommend this company!

I highly recommend "A" List Handyman for any work that you need done!
Our neighbor broke off the corner of our house with a U-Haul. I emailed Danny photos and he responded within 30 minutes. The work was scheduled for a few days later.
Danny was VERY thorough with the repair. He matched both paint colors perfectly and rebuilt the corner of our roof, all within the timeframe he originally quoted. His work was flawless.
We'll be using "A" List Handyman for all of our home repairs from now on!

Danny is the man! He's a handyman you can trust and won't try to rip you off. Awesome guy.

I initially tried contacting "A" List Handyman via email about an issue I'm having at my house. I never received a response. I figured maybe it was just missed, and I contacted him instead through Yelp. He responded with a quote and that he was booked for the next two weeks. We made an appointment for him to come check out my issue after that two week period was up. He was a no-show for our agreed-upon time.
I do not recommend this company. Find someone who will actually respond and show up.

What more can I say: Danny is The Man. Incredibly professional, thorough, and the best part, considerate (especially in these worrisome Covid times). His communication, scheduling, handywork (most importantly), billing - all flawless. I've used his services a few times now and I'm always impressed. He's in high-demand and that speaks to his craft + personality so I'd advise any prospective customer of his to be patient when reaching out to him - it's worth it, trust me!

I needed someone to pull out my built-in fridge and repair a broken water line without damaging the cabinets or floors, and I needed it quickly. When Danny pulled out the fridge he discovered mold. He remediated the issue expertly and quickly, taking care to do the kind of work that would last. When you need a someone you can trust with a wide range of home expertise Danny is the man to call.

I hired "A" List Handyman (aka Danny) to assist with some finishing touches on some DIY projects in my house, namely installing a new medicine cabinet, replacing some broken subway tiles in my 1926 bathroom and replacing an outdated doorknob on a closet door. Danny, as he promised, is a consummate professional and spends more attention to detail than I could ask for. The finished projects exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be hiring him again for future projects. In and above his craftsmanship, he is thoughtful, considerate of home and pets, clean and trustworthy. He was in my home for 3 days and never once felt like I needed to check in on him or his progress. He's awesome!

I have been trying to find a great handyman for a long time now. I have hired several people already. All who had hundreds of amazing reviews on yelp. Unfortunately after the jobs were complete everything always had to be redone. One handyman even installed a swing improperly which led to a very serious injury for a 1 year old. But that was certainly not the case with Dan. He was punctual, thorough, kind and went so far above and beyond. He has amazing instincts as a handyman and I was so impressed with his ability to problem solve with some of the more challenging projects. It can be hard when reading through reviews to know who to hire but please take my word for it he is definitely the best handyman I have every worked with and I can promise you won't be disappointed!!

We have used Danny on two occasions over the past couple of years. Our house is 100yrs old in a Historic Preser. Overlay Zone, in both cases we had water damage near couple of doorways. Water is insidious, you can see the damage at the "end of the line", but hard to know how extensive it is. We called on Danny for his forensic abilities. He had to do some stucco removal/replacement as well as window frame/sills, door jams and and part of a major 4x8 beam replacement. His craftsmanship is excellent, he kept demolition to a minimum and artfully created strong joints to join new wood (some fir, some oak) where removal/partial removal was required. By carefully splicing together, he saved doing larger demolition.
He was able to complete his work in 3 different parts of the house with minimal disruption to our lives. Most important is in our case, the finish work is seamless, undetectable from our much loved original parts of our 100 year old home.
He really is the "A List Handyman.

Danny is the best! He does excellent work, is fairly priced, and is reliable. Reliability with handymen is not always an easy thing to find and is something I value very much. I will undoubtedly be calling Danny again whenever I'm in need a handyman in the future.
